5 Days into this Purpose


5 days into this purpose (including the day of traveling). Here i am, sitting at this desk, in my own hut, doing my best to find the best way to open this blog.

Truth is, i'm not sure what this whole journey means, and i suppose that's the nature of adventure and life, we never know what it "means" until it has passed. And even then, finding "meaning" can keep us from being completely free in the experience.

i'll start with my purpose here at Usha Village in a town called La Cieba, in Honduras. My good friend James was diagnosed with stage 4 oral cancer a couple weeks ago. i listened to my intuition to come along and document his process. i co-manifested with the Universe and my community back home and here i am. 

It was far from easy manifesting this trip. Renegotiating my position at work, changing the schedule of a yoga/life coaching program i'm leading with my best friend, raising $1500, super expediting my passport, car breaking down, doubt and criticism, emotional breakdowns, the anxiety of stepping into my potential. All of this resistance happened for to reaffirm the necessity to come and support my friend, learn about healing, and create art out of it all.

5 days into this purpose. It has been so much more than i could have imagined. This is just the first post so i will leave it at that, for now. 





A row of colorful huts in which guests stay. Each guest has their own, including a bathroom with a shower. This stream that runs through the middle is the healing alkaline water flowing down from the hot spring at the top of the mountains. 






Here i set up a chair by the window in my room. Waiting for James to do his daily video diary, i appreciated the simple beauty and grace of this image. The perfect blank canvas. 
i would later start with the question, "what would you like to talk about today?"
